Chapter 1041: The Severe Winter of the Great Xia Dynasty
"Cannot retreat."
Wen Taibao said softly.
But from his tone, everyone could hear a hint of fatigue.
If you think about it carefully, Wen Taibao was actually over sixty years old when he went on this expedition.
An ordinary elderly person would spend their old age at home at this age and would not travel much, let alone go to the battlefield on horseback.
Wen Taibao is indeed old.
It can be seen from the gray hair on his temples that he is no longer the King Wen Taibao of Yan during the Yingtian Campaign.
Heroes grow old and grow old.
"If you attack the enemy with all your strength, there is still a chance. If you retreat now, you will really lose."
Wen Taibao lowered his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't know that this battle had dragged on for too long.
But there is no way!
He has been framed, unable to advance or retreat.
Once he retreats, how will the Navaras view him in the future? How will they view the Daxia Dynasty?
They had no respect for the Great Xia Dynasty to begin with, and with this retreat, they will inevitably become more aggressive.
Wen Taibao raised his head and spoke slowly: "I have to subdue them."
Hearing this, Wen Zidi became anxious and wanted to speak again: "Dad! We..."
"Who is your father!"
"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, only monarchs and ministers!!"
"If you say anything that shakes the morale of the army, I will deal with you first!"
Wen Taibao didn't give Wen Zidi a chance to speak at all, and immediately reprimanded him.
Seeing this, Wen Zidi could only hold back what was in his heart and replied: "I made a mistake, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Wen Zichun and Wen Zikai looked at each other and smiled.
This guy is still too young!
The two of them have been fighting with the old man for half their lives. They know what they should say and what they should not say.
This is also the reason why the two of them turned a blind eye to the gazes of the other generals.
Speaking out has no effect.
Why do you want to make the old man unhappy?
At this moment, the audience was a little unhappy.
Wen Taibao almost had the word stubborn written on his face.
The older people get, the more stubborn they become.
This sentence is true.
The audience was anxious and helpless, so they could only compile their complaints into barrages.
"Seongjong is too stubborn!"
"If you continue fighting like this, you will definitely lose!"
"Please, Chengzong, withdraw your troops! Your eldest son in the rear is already vomiting blood because of this incident."
"In the words of an imperial physician, Wen Ziren's life is only between day and night."
"It makes me so angry!"
"I want to go in and grab Wen Taibao's ears and scold him."
As viewers from a God's perspective, they know more information about the plot and have absolutely no confidence in this battle.
Although the Daxia army was brave, the time, place and people were not favorable.
However, Wen Taibao was still very stubborn.
Wen Taibao even punished Wen Zidi and ordered him to take the lead as a member of the charge army next time he went to war.
For a moment, the audience's hearts froze.
It’s over!
Completely finished!!
Stormtroopers have the highest mortality rate among all military branches.
The task of the stormtroopers is to use their own lives to tear a hole in the enemy's way, allowing the army behind to advance straight in.
It can be said that this is a chance to risk one's life.
Wen Zidi is only in his twenties, so asking him to charge is equivalent to asking him to die?
But Wen Zidi still agreed.
He must go.
After walking out of the military camp, Yu Qian learned the news and hurriedly dissuaded Wen Zidi: "Your idea is right. If you want to persuade the emperor to retreat, you can't charge."
Wen Zidi ignored it.
Until the moment I get on my horse,
Wen Zidi replied coldly: "Only if I die on the battlefield can dad retreat."
The horse's hooves are getting farther and farther away.
Yu Qian kept calling Wen Zidi, but there was no response.
Why bother?
The audience couldn't help but feel sad.
This is not the result they want to see.
If Wen Zidi's life was really used to persuade Wen Taibao to withdraw his troops, it would be a tragedy for the Great Xia Dynasty.
People in the old Wen family are inherently short-lived.
Wen Taibao lived for more than sixty years, and was already one of the longest-lived members of the Wen family.
Wen Zidi is only twenty years old.
If he is dead, what hope does the Great Xia Dynasty have?!
The plot of episode 28 is very tight, leaving no room for breathing.
The next day.
Wen Zidi then led his troops to the battlefield.
He was not afraid of death at all. He first took out a spear, and then took out his sword after the spear fell.
The audience naturally hopes that Wen Zidi is okay.
But this is not necessarily the case for screenwriter Chen Ming.
He is always very ruthless with the roles he plays.
really!
Something happened to Wen Zidi.
The Wala people were not vegetarians either. A sledgehammer directly knocked Wen Zidi off his horse and even knocked off his helmet.
The Walas even added a kick and kicked Wen Zidi in the chest.
In an instant, Wen Zidi vomited blood and lay on the ground.
In a blur of consciousness, he staggered to his feet, and then fell to his knees heavily.
At this time, anyone can come over and kill him, and take his head effortlessly.
The audience started to spray again.
If Wen Zidi really died here, the audience would definitely not be able to accept it.
But what the audience can't accept the most is Wen Taibao's stubbornness. Now it's better, because of the old man's stubbornness, Wen Zidi is about to die.
It makes me angry just thinking about it.
"When Chengzong was young, he was so powerful. Now that he is old, he is really far worse than before."
"Stubborn and rigid, the Great Xia Dynasty will go downhill sooner or later because of him."
"If all the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty are lost here, what is Wen Taibao trying to do?"
"Brother Chen isn't going to finish the movie, is he?"
"It's really hard to say. Although Wen Zidi is played by Brother Chen, with the right atmosphere, Brother Chen may really be able to get the role for himself."
"Emperor Wu, Wen Zidi! How could he die here!!"
Fortunately,
Chen Ming heard the audience's cry.
Wen Zidi did not die on the battlefield.
He was rescued by a soldier, but was seriously injured and needed to rest.
As long as Wen Zidi is not dead, everything will be fine.
The barrage finally became more relaxed, and he couldn't help but joke.
"This battle directly wiped out ten years of life."
"In addition, Wen Taibao usually likes to scare his son. If he scares his son, he will lose five years of his life. There is not much time left for Wen Zidi."
"It's time to retreat now."
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Wen Taibao has other motives for fighting. He has been fighting all his life. Doesn't he know that now is the best time to retreat? But he just won't retreat, he just wants to fight. Is it really a good thing?"
"I think so too."
"There may be other unknown factors behind this battle."
to be honest,
This battle is truly unwinnable.
Wen Taibao knew it very well, but he just refused to retreat.
After a long stalemate, Wen Taibao's body finally couldn't bear it anymore and he fell ill in the military camp.
at the same time,
Another bad news also came.
Wen Ziren also fell ill, his breath was like a thread and his life was in danger.
all of a sudden,
The two most critical people in the Great Xia Dynasty both fell ill.
One is Wen Taibao, who leads the troops in the front line, and the other is Wen Ziren, who is responsible for logistics and supplies in the rear.
at this moment,
The Great Xia Dynasty was experiencing an unprecedented severe winter period.
If you get through it, it will be a new prosperous age.
Can't get through it,
Then the Central Plains will change hands and dynasties will change.
